Images are for illustration purposes only as product may vary. 013a – 25 November 2013
Caution
The Chiller is not suitable for use in subfreezing temperatures.
To prevent damage to the water supply line, turn off and drain
unit when air temperature is below zero.
 The Chiller should be located in a well-ventilated, firm, level location close to dispenser, water
and electrical supplies, with easy access for servicing
 SPC version Chillers are intended for use in the bar area.
 SPK2-11 version chillers are intended for use in a non temp controlled storage area.
 Ensure sufficient clearance around Chiller to allow good fresh air circulation through the
condenser – allow at least 200mm at rear, sides and top, with the front unobstructed.
 Installation should only be performed by a qualified and competent technician.
6.4 Mounting Chiller
 Install on a flat, level surface using adjustable legs or casters (Optional).
Caution
Chiller operational weight is 157/179kg; ensure that all
supporting structures are certified for this loading by a
registered Mechanical Engineer.
Supporting structure must be securely fixed to floors or walls.
6.5 Connecting Python
Connect Python to Chiller and Dispenser.
Caution
NOTE: The Chiller is rated to operate with a maximum of 30m of
python connected.
Exceeding manufacturer’s ratings may cause damage to the
Chiller and void warranty.
Python Details
Recirculation Lines ½” Dia Glycol tubing
Beer Lines: Max 4-off 3/8” Dia Beer line tubing
Input beer line connection is made on top of the tank onto John Guest 3/8” Superseal flowbend
connection.
Output beer line connection is made inside the tank onto John Guest 3/8” Superseal flowbend
connections.
6.6 Plumbing the Drain
The 19mm overflow drain tube exiting from the RH Pump Panel of the unit should be plumbed to a
suitable drain, installation in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1 and AS/NZS 3500.2.
6.7 Filling Unit
Glycol - Remove Chiller lid and fill the tank with glycol/water mixture of 30% (refer to chart on page
12 for details) until mixture flows out overflow tube.

Water - If the unit is to be used as an ice bank, simply fill with clean water until it flows out the
overflow tube.
6.8 Electrical Connection
 This unit is connected to the supply via a flexible cord fitted with a 3 pin plug.
 Check the name plate on the machine for electrical supply requirements. Use only the power
supply specified on the name plate.
Warning
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
Warning
To avoid possible fatal electric shock or serious injury the
Chiller must be electrically grounded.
Electrical Connection Must Be Made In Accordance With The
Appropriate Local Codes And Regulations.
Use of an RCD is recommended.
6.9 Commissioning
 Connect chiller power supply lead to an appropriate 3 pin socket outlet and switch on.
Compressor, condenser fans and pump/agi motor should all operate.
 On initial start up, remove the pump plug to allow the tank temperature to reduce without the
unit cutting out on overload. If the unit cuts out during pull down, turn off at mains socket to
reset then continue to pull down as before.
 Once the unit is cycling normally, the pump plug should be replaced, ensure the pump is
running.
 Allow lines to fill. Ensure liquid level does not drop below pump intake during initial filling of the
python.
 As required top up the unit.
 Check all connections for leaks.
 Fully insulate all chilled lines and ensure air tight at all connections.
 Before running unit, sanitise product lines using beer line cleaner.
 Glycol Units:
 Check water / glycol mixture with refractometer (refer to chart on page 12 for details).
 Check the set point of the controller (reset per 6.11)
 Monitor the indicated temperature on the thermostat and ensure temperature reduces to
the set point.
 Don’t leave water in coils as the water will freeze.
6.10 Purge System
 Progressively activate each fount connected to the Chiller systems to achieve an uninterrupted
flow of product.

13. Hydra Icebank Control Go/No Go Test
The Polaris has both thermostat and icebank / tank level control.
When operated as an icebank unit:
The thermostat will be energised continuously and use to display the bath temperature. The refrigeration
system will be controlled by the icebank coverage of the probe.
When operated as a Glycol unit:
The thermostat in conjunction with the Hydra control will control the refrigeration and display the tank
temperature. The icebank / level control will be energised continuously to provide low tank level protection.
For both systems, the liquid line probe from the Hydra control provides High Temp protection for the
refrigeration system.
The following test is to determine if the icebank / level control is operating correctly.
Warning
240VAC is present on terminals N, A, ON 1, ON 2 terminals.
Work should only be performed by fully trained & certified
Electrical, Plumbing & Refrigeration Technicians.
1. Remove the ice bank probe connections from
terminals J5, J6, J7.
2. Connect alligator jumper to terminals J5, J6, J7. Ice
bank control relay should close and refrigeration
system start.
(Simulates water covering all probes)
3. With refrigeration system operating (ice bank control
relay energised) remove alligator jumper from
terminal J6. Refrigeration system should continue to
operate.
(Simulates ice growth over green probe. Water still
contacting red and black probes)
4. With refrigeration system operating, remove alligator
lead from terminal J5.
Refrigeration system should stop.
(Simulates ice growth over black probe only)
